[cvsnt] Cannot rename file error

[P. Dwayne Miller]

I do in fact have a cvs.exe running.  I'll try to kill it and see if the 
problem goes away.

Tks for the info.

BTW... I believe the sequence of events that caused this were...

I edited a file, tried to commit the change and that failed because 
someone else had commit another change.  I did an update on the file, 
which resulted in it trying to merge two versions.  The merge operation 
never completed.

Tks again.
